    "content": "If there is no evidence, let that person go home and live his or her life. If someone is corrupt, he should be jailed in a record time. We will discuss with the Majority Party a legislation that should come up with a time frame within which corruption cases are supposed to be tried. If we say that a corruption case is supposed to take six months, it will be deterrent enough because those who get involved in corruption will know that investigation will be expedited. Two, they will know that once you are taken to court, the court process will also be expedited. Therefore, one will not have time to enjoy the loot. Therefore, who will take the risk of getting involved in corruption? Even before we come up with timelines for prosecuting corruption cases, the Judiciary can still achieve it administratively. I want to talk to the Chief Justice. Let him come up with a system where they administratively put timelines within which to try these cases. We want to see in record three or four months that this case of the National Youth Service has been disposed of and people are kept behind bars for years or fined handsomely. They should also be forced to return the loot that they got from the people of Kenya illegally. We want to see people working in the affected parastatals being prosecuted. The Ministry of Health should be the next target for proper investigation and auditing."
